I believe I have seen recipes that begin with maple sap instead of water. of course, anything is going to ultimately have water in it.
I've done a version of my Chocolate Mole Porter, where I mashed my grain with instant Mexican hot coco.

There's a pretty famous thread on here of a brew club using BMC to brew with. They used it as their mash and sparge "water."

I think it's a fine idea. Want to get an idea of what it would taste like? Make up an apfelwein (ideally using the same yeast you use for the beer which will vary the flavor than using something like a wine or champagne yeast) and brew up a beer using the same yeast and blend them when they're both done (do it in very small amounts when you taste so . This will give you an IDEA but of course the basics like hops and the intensities of each flavor will be off.
I had an apfelwein made with Motts that I wasn't too pleased with as well as a keg of PBR kicking around from a party. Gotta say, 50/50 they complimented each other quite well.
